SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF SCHIFF BASES
(UMT.Lahore, 2016) ALI JAAN
The synthesis of Schiff base typically followed a route of condensation with the elimination and formation of water and C=N bond respectively. The process employs different reaction conditions depending upon the reaction requirement. Usually the reaction formation demanded a reflux of minimum two hours. All the characterization of prepared sample was performed by UV-visible, IR and elemental analysis that confirmed the synthesized product confirmation. Five samples were synthesized A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5. The synthesized samples A1, A2, A3, and A4 showed excellent antioxidant activity with DPPH. The discussed samples efficiently hinder the oxidation process, proceeded by free radicals leading to degradation of tissues, and retained the life of cells. The synthesized compounds could be used further as ligands in different metal complexes. The Biological properties of such complexes can be explored in future.
